Outside of the two localities already described a few wells have been 
drilled in the township; a dry hole on the Buchanan farm in the southwest 
quarter of section 18; a dry hole on the Young farm in the northwest quar- 
ter of section 13; two wells in the southeast quarter of section 29, a dry hole 
on the Denbow farm and one making a little oil on the Webb farm. 
Malaga Township.—In the winter of 1901-2 a small pool was opened 
in section 36, less than two miles west of Jerusalem. The first well, which 
was drilled on the Harper farm, is reported as having begun producing oil 
at the rate of 300 barrels per day. By August, 1902, nearly a dozen oil 
wells had been completed, and a few gas wells. The pool extends into Bel- 
mont county, though at the time the territory was visited only one oil 
well had been secured north of Malaga township. 
The “Big lime” in this field is reported 4o feet thick. About 20 feet 
below it the ‘Keener is found, and this contains the oil. The upper part of 
this formation is reported pebbly, and the lower portion a sandstone. Oil 
is found in the upper part and salt-water below. The limits of the field 
have not yet been determined. 
Outside of this pool a number of wells have been drilled; two dry 
holes in the northwestern part of section 30; one dry hole in the northeast 
corner of section 35; two dry holes in the southern part of section 28; one 
dry hole in the southern part of section 33; one dry hole in the southeastern 
part of section 4; one small gas well in the southeast quarter of section 3; — 
one dry hole in the southeast corner of section 6, and two oil wells in the 
southwest quarter of the same section; one dry hole in the southeast corner 
of section 10; one gas well in the southeast quarter of section 16; one gas 
well in the southeast corner of section 21; one gas- well in the northeast
